Is a spa day good for dogs?

It helps them understand that we want to care for them and that we prioritize their health and well-being.

Interestingly, not every dog is going to be a fan of a spa day.

The more relaxed your furry friends personality, the more they will get out of the session.

One lovely thing we can do for our dogs is to give them a good massage.

Use circular motions, applying even pressure to places including their head, back, and thighs.

Work your way along the body slowly and calmly.

You may find they carry a lot of stress in one particular area e.g., their neck or back.

Remember, your dog probably wont be keen on you massaging more sensitive areas like their tummy or paws.

Dogs are often happiest to be massaged once theyve been dried after a relaxing bath.

Others find it easier from a cosy bed or mat on the floor.
